Hi everyone.Let say that I have some sql file with like hundred of simple statements in it. I `cat` it, copy it to buffer, go to my beloved psql and insert it there.But somewhere after first few lines it screws over:b2b=> BEGIN;b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites VALUES('russian_federation','ati.su',0,NULL,5);INSERT INTO oko_topsites VALUES('russian_federation'b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites VALUES('russian_federation','atn.ua',0,NULL,5);b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites VALUES('russian_federation','audit-it.ru',0,NULL,5);b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites VALUES('russian_federation','aup.ru',0,NULL,5);'b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites VALUES('russian_federation','autocentre.ua',0,NULL,5);b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites VALUES('russian_federation','autodoc.ru',0,NULL,5);b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites VALUES('russian_federation','calend.ru'b2b(> INSERT INTO oko_topsites VALUES('russian_federation','calorizator.ru',0,NULL,5)Unclosed quotes, unclosed parenthesis - anyway it wont work.How to safely insert big number of statements to psql at once?I am aware about "execute this file" \i option of psql, that is not the answer I am looking for, thanks :-)
What are you exactly aiming to do?
Have you tried -
psql < myfile
